I am interested in physiological and behavioral strategies that primates use to cope with dynamic environments. I study the ways in which species resolve the competing needs of growth, reproduction and survival. My fieldwork takes place in Madagascar, and my primary taxonomic focus is on lemurs. I'm currently investigating the hormonal basis of intrasexual dominance relationships and infant allomaternal care. To study environmental selection pressures on wild primates and assess how species mitigate environmental stress, I employ hormonal, phenological, ecological, and behavioral measures. I am the director of LEEP (Laboratory for the Evolutionary Endocrinology of Primates) and co-director of the Ranomafana Red-Bellied Lemur Project with Rachel Jacobs.
